Fans and people around the world who were inspired by Wineland shared their condolences on social media, thanking her for all she's done for the YouTube and cystic fibrosis communities over the years.

"After a week of intensive care and various life saving procedures, it became clear that it was Claire's time to go", Laura McHolm, Chairman of the Board, wrote on Facebook.

The YouTube star was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at birth and she underwent a nine-hour lung transplant surgery last week, but she suffered a stroke after it and her family had to make the decision to take her off life support.

The gift of life: Recipient of an organ donation herself, her organs were donated after her death.

The statement continued, "We know Claire was loved all over the world".

When she was 13, Wineland was placed in a medically-induced coma after her lungs failed.

Trump suggests libel laws be changed after bombshell book
In a recording of the conversation, released on Tuesday by the Washington Post , Trump told Woodward: "you've always been fair". I said NEITHER, never used those terms on anyone, including Jeff, and being a southerner is a GREAT thing.

But Wineland refused to be cowed or defined by her illness, becoming a social media star, writer, and speaker in her teenage years with her honest insights into illness and mortality, mixed with a good portion of fun and typical teenage selfies.

At a 2017 TEDx talk, Ms Wineland spoke about the importance of self-worth when living with a life-shortening illness.

"Death is Inevitable. Living a life we can be proud of is something we can control", the California native once said. "It's about what you're making of your life and whether you can find a deep pride in who you are and what you've given". After defying multiple life-expectancies of 10-, 15-, and 18-years-old, Wineland initially decided not to seek out a lung transplant after becoming a legal adult, an operation that can significantly prolong the life of someone with CF.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic lung disease with no cure. When she was 12 I tutored her...often times at the hospital. The median survival age is 40. Your prayers, support and encouraging words, have been a huge source of strength for her and her family.

"Claire is unable to do the work that she loves, which is traveling the world to share her message with thousands of people". At one point, Wineland looked up at her mother and said, "After you die, you're closer to everyone you love because you're part of everything".
